CSS Bootstrap Basics Getting to Know Bootstrap Rapid Development with Bootstrap

Posted by Sierra Stanton

If I learn and use Bootstrap, do I need to know backend code to make it a full functioning site?

I want to create a client portal for our clients using Bootstrap, is there anything I should know (i.e. other knowledge that would be required) or could this really be a complete solution for us. We'd like to keep this simple and not super complex, but allow a directory of sorts that clients can count on that links to other apps, shows past invoices, etc.

Please let me know if I can make this clearer, appreciate your input.

Yes I'm afraid you so. Bootstrap is a front end framework which includes the building blocks you need for CSS and JavaScript content.

Server side programming (known as the back end) is added separately.
